I saw this a few months ago in the video store and I was going to rent it but then I saw that it was animated. I was torn, really.
(I loved the books. I still have them in a box somewhere at my parents.)

I guess the one thing that stopped me from renting it was the fact that they screwed up the Dungeons & Dragons movie that came out a few years ago, and then after watching Eragon (which for me was disappointing because of the casting.) I think I will rent it eventually, but I think I'll wait until all three are out or there's nothing else I want to see.
